Fast and pray for America.

We need to pray for revival, a Third Great Awakening — that God would pour out His Holy Spirit and work repentance and revival in our land and give us the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

Fast and pray for America: Our Founding Fathers called numerous fasts. Christians should fast and confess personal and national sins in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land (ESV).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). We can’t lose. They can’t win.

Why I Am a Christian: My Testimony

 

The Transformed Wife from Facebook

The churches I grew up in were lukewarm but women never spoke in church. Men led everything.
Slowly, women began giving announcements in my later years.
The church grew dark and loud with Hillsong and Elevation songs.
Then women led singing.
Then they gave little sermonettes and prayed between songs.
Then there were female children’s pastors.
Finally, the pastor preached a sermon giving all of the feminist talking points and later on, concluded that women can actually be pastors and preach in the church. It’s a slow fade.
We left and found a solid biblical church.

Born Again to a Living Hope

1 Peter 1 ESV

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

“Steadfast for God and Country”
REV. JONAS CLARK, Pastor of the Church at Lexington during the Revolution, Leader of Revolutionary Thought.
Soon a dark cloud of disagreement and discord overshadowed the land for when the conflict with the French and Indians ended, a struggle with the Mother Country began. In eleven short years, from 1764 to 1775, the words Mother Country were replaced by our tyrant oppressors who are seeking to enslave us. The feeling of affection for the homeland was changed to bitter indignation and anger.
The causes of this revulsion of feeling lie on the surface. George the Third came to the throne in 1760. Lord Bute as Prime Minister and Granville at first as Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer and afterwards as Prime Minister, with the Tories behind them, succeeded to the rule of Pitt, the representative of the people, and the Whigs, both of whom were offensive to the king. Success had intoxicated the ruling powers. Peace was proclaimed February 11th, 1763, and on October 7th, 1763, only eight months afterwards, a royal proclamation was issued, beginning the new movement for the oppression of the colonies, the opening phrase of which said: “Whereas we have taken into our royal consideration the extensive and valuable acquisitions to our country by the Treaty of Paris,” etc. In the next year all disguises were thrown aside and a resolution was adopted by Parliament containing in its preamble these epoch-making words: “Whereas it is expedient that new provisions and regulations should be established for improving the revenue of the kingdom and for extending and securing the navigation and commerce between Great Britain and your Majesty’s dominions in America, which by the peace have been so happily enlarged, and whereas it is just and necessary that a revenue be raised in our Majesty’s said dominions in America, for defraying the expenses of defending the same,” etc. After this plain announcement of the policy of parliament, there followed in quick succession the Acts designed to carry this purpose into effect. In a few months was passed the Sugar Act of April 5th, 1764, then the Stamp Act of March 22nd, 1765, then the Quartering Act of the same year, then the Revenue Act of June 29th, 1767. To complete the list of obnoxious parliamentary acts, there was the Massachusetts Government Act of May 20th, 1774, which repealed those parts of the Charter granted by William and Mary which empowered the colony to elect its Governor and other officers, which officers after the 1st of August, 1774, were to be appointed by his Majesty to hold office during his pleasure. Also the power was given to the Governor to appoint and remove all judges and it was provided that no meeting of electors should be called without the leave of the Governor. (Pages 4-5)

My wife and I are the proud parents of an autistic 30-year-old son. Despite the love and support of family and friends, autism leaves us exhausted and devastated. We do not know why our family suffers with autism other than that we live in a fallen world. Some would ask why God permits such things, but we pity those who suffer such things and do not know the Lord. We look forward to that day when Christ “will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4). We pray that God will be glorified in healing our son in this life, but we know that he will not be autistic in heaven.
